Throwboy Launches Giant Pillow Modeled After Mac Finder Icon

[mrr]

Nice but not $390 nice.

unless you're borrowing money. Interest rates aren't great. Not terrible, but not great either.

Yes this is truth. I wanted to take out a credit line to furnish my home with these delightful pillows, but the interest rate would have been too punitive.

 

[bLackjackj]

But it is not, is it?

Sarcasm,..my friend

 

[JapanApple]

cute! looking

 

[dannyyankou]

are random system icons even copyrightable??

Trademark-able. And yes, they can be trademarked and they are trademarked-

Huge pillow. Could have been lighter than 16 pounds. The price should definitely be much lower. $390 is simply too high.

So regular, market-grade materials with a healthy profit margin got it.

It's not regular materials, it's made from several Apple polishing cloths stitched together

They update graphics on icons all the time, does that mean each time they do that, you need to re-trademark it?

Throwboy engineers their products with Apple-grade layered fabrics and durable finishes. The price isn’t unreasonable.

They must have bought all the excess FineWoven material Apple had laying around.

 

[Skyscraperfan]

Wow, that is a typical Apple price.

 

[arian71]

390 dolaros? with no airpods pro included
No thank you

 

[SanderEvers]

That price is almost as bad as some of Apple's original accessories.

(Producing pillows that large is actually quite expensive, though. But not that expensive)

 

[SpanishAppleNerd]

Apparently the also have an iMac G4 pillow lol

2002 Pillow

The moment this futuristic, friendly design hit the tech scene it blew everyone away. The jaw-dropping, all-in-one computer has been re-imagined as a cuddly plush pillow for your home. Complete with it's signature goose neck and detailed ports, it's the perfect conversation starter and will...

The jumbo Icon Pillow can be purchased from Throwboy for $390. It is available in the U.S., UK, and Canada.

I’ve been wanting to punch Finder for a long time but maybe just not that much 🤨🤑

 

[tridley68]

Definitely will be passing on this that's a crazy price this will flop.

 

[k1121j]

Waiting for Apple to go after them for this......

 

[Harry Haller]

Where do you attach the Apple Wheel$?

 

[BJMRamage]

who would want a pillow that large....oh wait, I bet it is priced a bit too high ...oh wow! higher than I thought.

 

[6163621]

Checks a Chinese site in a few weeks for less than 20 dollars shipped...

 

[vegetassj4]

I just realized that it must be Finewoven. That makes the price seem more reasonable.

 

[MacLawyer]

Can't unsee that ugly chair from 1975.

 

[cocky jeremy]

I'm not paying $400 for a pillow even if I were a billionaire. That's just stupid.

 

[Eradik]

I'd pay like, $50 tops. $400 for a pillow is ridiculous.

 

[GimmeDatApple]

Macrumors supporting blatant trademark infringement 😬

Yes...
